Poet, prose writer, and scholar Ann Veronica Simon has long been one of the quirkiest, funniest, and most poignant voices in the Bay Area experimental writing community. Her work rallies humor, memory, dream, childhood observation, idiosyncrasy, and the private language of friendship toward a unique understanding of the mysterious, wonderful, and often perplexing world that surrounds us humans. Manuscripts include *My Life as a Mouth Breather*, *A Dictionary of My Vocabulary*, and the more recent *Things I Have Learned Since I Got Cancer*.

Since the summer of 2002, Ann has been involved in an ongoing battle against brain cancer. Although her body has been afflicted, her mind and heart remain vibrant, engaged, open, and active. Please bring your love, your support, your prayers, and most of all your selves as we celebrate the gift of Ann's words and extraordinary presence.

Admission is free and open to all. Refreshments will be provided.
